567:, no regional english style (i.e. US vs British) is superior to another on wikipedia. Moreover, in response to FidesetRatio, I disagree that quality control on wikipedia is useless. ARticles undergo a rather rigorous quality control process ultimately leading to peer review and featured status. Maintaining the quality of articles is challenging and often depends on the concerted efforts of a core group of individuals who become invested in the article's quality. I agree that the vast majority of writers don't know an expletive from a superlative, but the fact that anyone can write also allows anyone to edit. I have always been impressed by the usual swiftness with which vandalism of articles is reverted. --

412:"*Style on questions such as whether to convert foreign times to local times (generally not) and when to put "Dr." in front of a person's name (only for certain medical titles, although it may be used if the subject matter is relevant to the topic). " I removed this sentence, which I didn't think was very clear, and replaced it with what I think is a more inclusive summary of what the book contains. I don't think the specific examples were all that useful as they were, but I don't have the book on hand to find any better ones. --

Consistency gets locked in regardless of whether it makes sense (e.g., AP's lack of serial commas) yet the power of wikipedia is that it's constantly changing. So having an official stylebook for wikipedia would harm its very core. Now, having said that, there are lots of styles for lots of things on

I added some new additions to the definition due to some of the new changes AP has made to the style book. Such as the book being made every other year in print instead of every year. I added new additions and awareness to the
Spanish edition of the AP Stylebook especially to the history section. I

I wanted to start a real discussion and debate with the editors and contributors to the articles of the
English Knowledge (XXG). I've seen a lot of inconsistencies in several areas, such as numbering schemes (one, two, ..., ten, eleven, twelve/twelfth, thirteen/thirteenth, one hundred, nineteen

If this project has already begun, I'd love to participate since I'm a news desk editor and would like to bring even more consistency to the wikipedia articles. If this project has not begun or is in its infant stages, I am very anxious to start working with the rest of the team.

I looked here for naming conventions, and find that the Gold Shield has somehow prevented me from closing this tab in my browser (Netscape/Mozilla). The little cross to close the tab has gone, as well as the menu function to "Close this tab" has also been disabled

hundred fifty-six, etc). A more modern and generally accepted numbering scheme (see AP, New York Times style guides) is to spell out the numbers 0-9 as such (zero, one, two, three, four, through nine) and spell out numbers 10+ as 10, 11, 12, 13, etc).

To be totally honest, the first sentence in that section reads like a (slightly morbid) corporate slogan—it even cites an
Associated Press PR puff piece. I hate to be pedantic, but I think that sentence should get changed to something more neutral.
